Is the 2ZZ a bad (track use) engine?

Aren't some of them one way as well?

Really stupid question perhaps but, is it completely deleted? Not a chance perhaps that the cooler is stuck in closed state due to not having the thermostat? Or is the whole mechanism removed and it's just an open flow from block to input and output?

There's nothing there, it's just a basic sandwich plate. You can see air.

I did say it was a stupid question hehe

After 2 failures on track, it was time to go for a 2GR MR2. In the Lotus circles you see so few failures.

I do wonder why this is?

I know of 1 Lotus 2ZZ failure, at Croft, at the same corner where I know of 4 other failures - but that's it.

I'm not going to Croft if I wanna keep my engine!
